Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui Four Horseman Tactical Agency 2	Posted - 2015.09.27 23:26:00 - [32] - Quote Are you serious about adding a heat reduction skill ? It's nice to have a system where you have to weigh what your doing and how you approach your conflicts , I'm against any heat reduction skill with the way things are now , you have to manage your weapon and to be honest , that's how all weapons should be . You shouldn't be able to just spam your way out of conflicts hence , watering down the gun game . It's bad enough that you can just spam your way through gunfights now . Laser should have a heat build up . Rails should jump out of your hands if mismanaged . CR's should have their damage lessened or gain dispersion if your lean on the trigger . AR's should have some type of side effects when someone just leans on the trigger . To me , it makes sense to have some type of countermeasures to create a level of skill and kill the vanilla " spray and pray " mentality . What you mentioned about explosive rounds , could that become a start for the Min HMG .?. rail rounds for the Cal HMG , laser rounds for the Amarr HMG and you could leave it how it is for the Gal HMG . Is there a way to just change the projectiles , heat build up mechanics and the colors to create racial HMG's ? To me the vanilla is fine , I can still kill good with the vanilla . The only thing that makes the assault viable is the fact that it has a dual purpose infantry / vehicle and the fact that the fire rate is slower which helps with the hit detection . Teamwork is really important - said the Tyrannosarus Rex from Kung Fury .

I don't think the changes will solve all the shield issues, but that wasn't the goal of this hotfixes shield changes anyway. Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper.

Keep the ranges as they are for both AHMG and vanilla. You might see people having a preference for one or the other. Just a thought. Watching from the shadows. Always there, yet never seen.

Mortishai Belmont G.L.O.R.Y 1	Posted - 2015.09.28 13:12:00 - [44] - Quote Arkena Wyrnspire wrote: Mortishai Belmont wrote: Also, shotguns can kill a heavy quicker then a MINIGUN can kill a flimsy scout. This is just not right, why did I sacrifice my speed for health and an HMG if it does no good? This is just not true, unless you haven't tanked your sentinel at all, the scout has stacked all the HP mods it possibly could, and you can't aim to save your life (quite literally). I'm at 103mil life time now, so having used all the heavies and scouts, I can say first hand that it's not fair. I can kill most heavies in 3 hits with a shotty before they know what hit them. If I do miss a shot and they see me, I'm gone before they can get a shot in and back behind them to finish the job before they can 'round the first corner. I'm not even going to throw out nova knives or remotes. Unless the scout tries to eat the barrel of your HMG, they can pop off 3+ rounds and have most killed before the average player has time to acquire their target and spool up their gun to firing. If scouts could only wield side arms, I believe it would solve the problem completely. If I want to kill someone in particular or just want to be mean to the enemy team, I pull out a Gal scout and just go to town, it's not even fair ._. If I wasn't as good as I am with my heavy, it would be a third rate suit. I can make it work, but it's not good for the average player vs other suits and the scout.

Victor Moody Stahl Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 263	Posted - 2015.09.30 03:58:00 - [48] - Quote Full disclosure, I run a bit of everything pretty regularly ('cept scouts, but only because I'm trying to figure out a good Amarr Scout fit and because AmMando with AScR+PLC is beasty and hilarious). I also play primarily pub Skirmish matches, and solo as well. With that out of the way, I have both AmSent and am working towards MinSent (the latter is better suited to speed fits). RE: HMG vs Assault HMG I personally have little reason to use the regular HMG. The versatility and range benefits of the AHMG (plus the beast audio) are just too good to pass up when pubbing with a heavy suit. It's fairly rare that I run into something that I cannot, at least in theory, kill. I once almost bagged a Madrugar using just Flux grenades and an AHMG- standard level on both too! That being said, I'm not sure what to do about it. The regular HMG is more suited to CQB, I think, but I tend to prefer to not get into CQB in the first place, and I usually move on my own (IE, with no blueberries within 20-50+ meters) so the extra range and the AV damage is just too valuable to give up. /shrugs Just not sure what to do here. RE: Shield changes As a wannabe MinSent user, I think the shield changes are going to be boss. For the MinSent, the biggest gains are in depleted delay; there's a little bit of a buff in terms of recharge (which is good for me as I run dual energizer on a Min Heavy Frame-I at present). It's going to be very valuable, IMO. Combined with Kincats and possible damps (a Complex damp will get a Heavy Frame under 40 db (!)) and/or cardiac regulators, it's great for basically taking a heavy suit and turning it into an assault suit.

This will allow for faster data collection on the way these new weapons act, which are more used, which are more effective, and which are in most need of balancing. More importantly, you cut out the need to put in a new skill in the skill tree and you avoid complaints from the community demanding a respec (an old headache that is in a constant state of reoccurance). - In the description, a simple '*x-race's attempt to recreate the Minmatar HMG' should sufice, at least for the time being. You could ask the people in the forums for the best translation of this if need be, like what Ratatti did when he asked for assistance with the new names for suits and whatnot a few months ago. Crowd source the hell out of it and get the translations done for free. It doesn't need to be perfect, it's basically just starting a beta on the weapon. - A simple palette swap from the current HMG and forge gun should be good enough for the time being, just giving heavies the option to use their own race's weapon regardless of the differences between the weapon's stats should at least make most happy. This should be simple since we have seen plenty of different palates on weapons for a while now, however this one isn't even necessary for now if it helps keep costs down. Palette swaps can be put off if need be as it's only an aesthetic change, but I'm sure everyone would appreciate if they did at least have a color representing it's race. This basically ends up just being a pallete swap, new items added to the list with the exact same information in it's details apart from the description (since damage profiles aren't listed), and swapping a few numbers for the damage profiles. As for the gain: you get 6 new weapons for heavies, you finally achieve racial parity for heavy suits, you gain the adoration of every heavy in the game for said racial parity, and you open up the heavy class up to having a full range of damage profile options on the battlefield for both AV and AI purposes. You get away with very little localization needs, very few number changes, little to no art work needed, no need for skill tree additions, no need for base stat changes, and no need to create a whole new weapon to give every race two of their own heavy weapons.

WeapondigitX V7 The Exemplars 438	Posted - 2015.09.30 13:27:00 - [53] - Quote The vanilla HMG has problems in CQC sometimes because the recoil and accuracy relationships are not designed to be user friendly against moving opponents. In a ideal world, high accuracy and low recoil would be best. The players aim would be spot on all the time. But this is not a ideal world. Player aim changes all the time. Within 10-15m engagements the HMG becomes very accurate very fast while hipfiring which reduces its ability to be user friendly at low ranges. (inverse recoil, the surface area of the hipfire aim reticle is only half filled at 10m ranges with max accuracy). I would suggest lowering the inverse recoil buildup while firing from the hip but leaving the max accuracy level unchanged. This will have a very small negligable DPS decrease for players that have extremely good aim at longer ranges. But it would raise the average DPS of average players in 10m ranges (against moving targets) because the weapon would be more forgiving towards players that have good aim but dont have godly good aim. it would be more user friendly. Another good idea is to very slightly reduce the heat build up of the weapon. But that does not make players improve the results of there aiming skills. You could decrease the animation time duration relating to switching TO heavy weapons from other weapons. A very good idea is to reduce the muzzle flash when a player aims down there sights instead of hipfiring. (it sometimes affects my aiming sometimes) (side note: please reduce the muzzle flash for the AR while aiming down sights, it is far too much, very hard to aim sometimes in certain game environmental lighting conditions) You could increase the clipsize of the vanilla HMG by 100 bullets instead of reducing the heat generation.

g li2 Grupo de Asalto Chacal Rise Of Legion. 1	Posted - 2015.09.30 20:19:00 - [57] - Quote The AHMG has become so effective that it is very common use in closed letters I have the feeling that lately have played a little heating (heats before) and a percentage of Sentinels have returned to normal HMG. But I would estimate that their use in enclosed and PC is around 60% AHMG and 40% Boundless (Alex Gastun) Besides, the Sentinels fine like this But quite defenseless against knife, remote and shotguns. It is logical, it is the opposite roles and whosoever heavy be weighed assume. Seems excessive damage AHMG against light vehicles. SOMOS LEYENDA

With greater versatility (AV capability), longer range, better accuracy, and higher damage capability, the AHMG seems to just be overall better than the HMG.
